fast combat support ships (AOE) Sacramento class combine the capabilities of a fleet oiler (AO), ammunition ship (AE) and refrigerated stores ship (AF) in a single unit that perform the functions of three vessels while simultaneously integrating into a carrier battlegroup.

| 1968 | | AOE-1 USS Sacramento I was detached to the Sacramento while in HC-3, we were on our way to Viet Nam when we were, detoured to the coast of Korea along with the Enterprise. Thats right Korea, remember the Pueblo, we didn t stay long and did go to Vietnam, where we were exposed to AO, gave me Parkinsons, yuk, I flew in the h-46s and made it to various ships just off the coast, delivering supplies via vert reps.
